Application filed June 1, 1909. Serial No. 499,374.

To all whom it may concern!" 7 Be it known that I, GEORGE D. ADAMSON,

a citizen of Great Britain, residing in the city of Indianapolis, Marion count-y, in the State of Iiidiana, have invented a new and useful machine whereby sharpening and es-- both sides of-a given blade; second, to do it speedily; and third, to do it automatically. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in

which Figure 1 is elevation of the entire machine as it would appear when operating on an ordinary razor. Fig. 2 isa part elevation in sectionat X X it would appear when operating on a thin or safety razor blade.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout these views.

A is handle upon which the entire machine is'built. It is apparent that it and holder C could be made in one piece, and for heavy work would be so made.

B is double ax e made of one piece looped at B passing through holes in holder 0 and rollers D d and being clenched in handle A form base for holder I C and bearings for rollers D'd.

C is holder set on axlesB and having lugs it into which razor or carrier F is placed, and set-screw i being screwed down on razor bearing rods mounted ing members.

or carrier F back holds blade edge to rollers D d. Pawl is on aforesaid holder engages cog-wheel Z thus preventing reverse" motion. D d are two elliptical hollow rollers each made of one piece m looped at D and riveted on to cog-wheel Z at d. Holes in center atD and (Z provide bearings onwhich aforesaid rollers D d revolve on axles B respectively.

liforesaid cog-wheels l being in gear so that 1 aforesaid rollers D d clear each other, it appears that the faces of'their longer axis can be made to alternately touch anything put between them.

E are removable sleeves made of material suitable to make-,and maintain a keen edge, and held in place by lacing o. This allows of readily renewing working faces of aforesaidrollers D d.

F is a carrier used to safety or special blades.

adapt holder C to G is a pinion wheel hung on handle A and being in gear with cog-Wheels Z motion made in direction allowed aforesaid rollers D d. I

Having thus set forth and explained my invention, Patent for A sharpening machine comprising a hendled frame,- parallel thereon, sharpening members journaled on said rods, an instrument support mounted on said rods and parallel therewith, a drive wheel journaled in said frame and operatively connected with drivingmeans borne by said sharpen- GEORGE D.
